4 Finding the right one StarsThis is my second Tia Louise book One to Hold is a standalone and is part of the One to Hold series I read book 7, One to Chase and I loved it so much I m going back and making my way through the series The writing style is a bit different in this one I would say it s a little formal and not as laid back like One to Chase Regardless, both writing styles work for me I m not too picky, I kind of like the variety because it kind of changes things up.This is Derek and M [...]

I liked this story but didn t love it, primarily because of its structure It begins with the encounter between Melissa and Derek, before knowing anything about them It all makes sense as you delve further into the story but it s always difficult for me when a story begins with the sex and I haven t had a chance to invest in the characters The entire story is told from Melissa s point of view until the epilogue and we get Derek s perspective It was a great way to close this chapter of the trilogy [...]

2.5 3 StarsThis one just didn t turn out the way I had hoped it would For the first 30% of the book I struggled with making a connection with the two main characters Derek and Melissa It probably is a case of it is me and my mood rather than the book itself Because honestly the writing was good, there were some pretty steamy sex scenes but I just found myself wanting a little bit I just felt things were rushed There was a twist I absolutely didn t expect and that made things a bit interesting [...]
